New York Model Management

1) Tell us..How and when did you started modeling ?

I have a very good friend who used to be a model herself and started learning photography at some point. She invited me for a test shooting in her school. And those pictures she sent later to my dearest Aquarelle models and I was very lucky because my managers liked me))) Once we started working together I had a lot of test shootings and I loved it so much! From that moment I started being busy and that is very important for me…It was a start of new life!!!)

2) Do you remember your first casting? Tell me how it was.

My first casting was the one with my mother agency. I was so exiting to meet them and I expected being asked so many questions. So I have been preparing the whole day and could not sit at the same place – was so exciting) When I met them I felt so comfortable right away.. just like they were my really close friends. And since then nothing has changed – my managers are 2 amazing women who are very kind to me and always help with good advises. So my first casting I can call my lucky casting!!!

3) In which countries do you managed to work? Where you liked most?

I have been to New York, Paris, China, Japan and Taiwan. And in every country I have left a piece of my heart. Every city I have been to is very special. Every country has it’s own unique traditions starting from different architecture and ending with different lifestyle. I met a lot of friends all around the world and I always want to come back and see them again.

4) How would you describe yourself ?

I am a happy and a bit crazy person;) I live like there is no tomorrow and try to enjoy my life. I’m totally in love with my job but when I’m free I’m spending my whole time at home with my sweet family because they are the most important people for me!!!)

5) What are in your opinion the best things in the modeling world ?

The most important thing is just to be yourself. Trying to catch a happiness when you have a chance to. Smiling all the time and enjoying what you are doing!!!

6) Please tell us what the last job has left you have the greatest impression?

It’s a bit complicated to tell because I had SO MANY amazing jobs. Many times I worked with the same photographers, same makeup artists who became my dearest friends so every job with them we all were trying to make the greatest impression to each other)

7) You did fashion shows. Are you nervous before the show starts ? And how do you feel when you walk on the runway ?

I love fashion shows!!!! Yes I’m always a bit nervous but I like this feelings as it is a kind of adrenalin for me))) But when I walk I feel like – Yeah that’s cool!! I want more and more)))

8)  Are there any models that inspire you ?

My favorite models are Coco Rocha, Carlie Kloss and Sui He. These girls are perfect! Everyone is very different and very TOP!!!! Hope to meet them in a future)

9) What are your favorite sports, how much do you exercise and how do you manage your diet to stay in shape?

I like going to gym and do some cardio or some dance classes. But I like doing it more when the weather is cold. When its summer or spring outside I like jogging or walking in a park. My favorite sport is roller skates with friends. I think it is more fun with the same workouts) I don’t have a diet but I am a vegan – I just really love animals!!!! And I definitely love SPA and massage!!!!

10) Do you have any beauty secrets hat you would like to share with us ?

The main secret is something which every model knows – a lot of water and a good sleep are very important. I always remove makeup before going to sleep and keep my skin clean from any makeup as often as possible. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and it makes my skin cleaner. Also there is a lot of vitamins and natural fiber in them. And for hair I like using some oil homemade masks.

11) Tell us a little more about your hobbies. What are you doing when you’re not working?

Last weekend I have jumped with a parachute and I think that was the moment I found my new hobby) So far my hobby is a crazy lifestyle – I like so much discovering and trying everything new!!

12) Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Wow!!! I have no idea) We only have one life! And you never know what wait for you around the next corner.

13) What do you think of All About Models)

I like All About Models to see new faces and read some fresh news!!! I like you guys you are very cool!!!!)

It’s normal to be nervous! ))) Models are humans!!!!
